Sec. of Education nominee thinks sexual assaults should be handled by criminal justice system

One on the grotesque lies foisted upon the public by Barack Obama’s Department of Education is that there is an “epidemic” of sexual assault on campus. These numbers are bogus and made up out of whole cloth. Obama’s Education Department has not only embraced the statistics, it has required virtually every college and university in the nation to also embrace them.

Under this pretext they have required educational institutions to constitute what can only be described as Kafka-esque Star Chamber proceedings where the accused isn’t allowed representation, or access to the allegation, or allowed to confront their accuser and they can be adjudged guilty of sexual assault and expelled on virtually non-existent evidence.

These people may wear black but the are the Brownshirts of liberal fascism.

OPEC producers took another 153,000 barrels a day off the market in March as part of its bid to drain the world’s oil glut.

In the cartel’s monthly report released Wednesday, independent sources reported the group of oil-producing countries has cut output by 1.1 million barrels a day since December.

Last month, Libya’s output dropped by nearly 9 percent, and production edged lower in the United Arab Emirates, Venezuela, Nigeria, Iran, Angola and other countries. Saudi Arabia raised production by 41,000 barrels a day.

That effort has pushed oil prices above $50 a barrel in recent months, breathing life into U.S. oil patches like the Permian Basin. U.S. crude rose 16 cents on Wednesday to $53.56 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange, as traders reacted to media reports that Saudi Arabia, the cartel’s de facto leader, wants to see OPEC continue production cuts into the second half of this year.
